            New ssl now properly handles ssl renegotiation, and
            initiates a renegotiation if ssl/ltls-sequence numbers
            comes close to the max value. However RFC-5746 is not yet
            supported, but will be in an upcoming release.</p>

            When gen_tcp is configured with the {packet,http} option,
            it automatically switches to expect HTTP Headers after a
            HTTP Request/Response line has been received. This update
            fixes ssl to behave in the same way. Thanks to Rory

            <p>A new implementation of ssl is released as a alfa
            version in ssl-3.9 it will later replace the old
            implementation in ssl-4.0. The new implementation can be
            accessed by providing the option {ssl_imp, new} to the
            ssl:connect and ssl:listen functions.</p>
            <p>The new implementation is Erlang based and all logic
            is in Erlang and only payload encryption calculations are
            done in C via the crypto application. The main reason for
            making a new implementation is that the old solution was
            very crippled as the control of the ssl-socket was deep
            down in openssl making it hard if not impossible to
            support all inet options, ipv6 and upgrade of a tcp
            connection to a ssl connection. The alfa version has a
            few limitations that will be removed before the ssl-4.0
            release. Main differences and limitations in the alfa are
            listed below.</p>

          <p>Because fopen() on Solaris 8 can't handle file
            descriptor numbers above 255, reading of certificate
            files would fail if all file descriptors below 256 were

            problem has been worked around.</p>
          <p>The ssl application's port program used to use
            select(), which meant that it could not handle more than
            FD_SETSIZE file descriptors (usually 1024). To eliminate
            that limitation, poll() is now used on all platforms that
